$4.1m Rimac Nevera R breaks 24 world records in one go
A Rimac hypercar has smashed 24 world records, including going from 0 to 400km/h and then coming to a complete stop in just 25 seconds.
The hair-raising Nevera R has been crowned the new 0-400-0 champion, breaking a slew of records in the process.
In just 25.79 seconds, the electric supercar accelerated from standstill to 400km/h and back to a halt, beating the previous record by a full 2.04 seconds.
Equipped with a breathtaking quad-motor all-electric powertrain, the Rimac has been labelled 'the fastest accelerating production car the world has ever seen.'
Among the new benchmarks set by the electrifying ride is a jaw-dropping 0 to 60mph time of just 1.66 seconds.
During its record-breaking run, the £1.8 million ($A3.4m) Nevera R hit a blistering top speed of 431.453km/h.
Producing an astonishing 2,107 brake horsepower, the Nevera R soared to the top of the performance charts, according to Luxury Auto News.
The dramatic improvement is thanks to a re-engineering of several major components.

Meanwhile, Michelin Cup 2 tires reduce understeer and boost lateral grip.
These upgrades work in concert with a next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring system, designed to maximise traction and handling precision.
'When we first introduced Nevera, it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached. In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades,' Mate Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group said.
'But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car,' he added.
'Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won't stop here.'
The Nevera R smashed its own 2023 records, securing its spot at the very top of the EV leaderboard.
The original Nevera already held several elite titles, including the production EV top speed record of 412 km/h, a Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb record of 49.32 seconds, and the electric production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife at 7:05.298.
Now, there's even more opportunity for the Nevera R to go after what few records remain.

Limited to just 40 units worldwide with a starting price of €2.3 million ($A4.1m), each Nevera R now carries the distinction of being part of the most comprehensively record-breaking hypercar ever created.
The Rimac Nevera R doesn't just edge out the original Nevera — it leaps ahead, according to CarBuzz.
The performance gap is clear across nearly every metric.
The R version cut 1.61 seconds off the 0–200mph time, coming in at 9.25 seconds.
It also hit 0–400 km/h (249mph) in 17.35 seconds, nearly four seconds quicker than the standard model.

In the 0–250–0mph test, the Nevera R was over five seconds faster, highlighting massive gains in both acceleration and braking.
It also improved the standing mile time to 19.71 seconds, shaving off almost a full second.
The quarter-mile came in at 7.90 seconds, beating even the drag-ready Dodge Demon 170, and without special tires.
Top speed rose from 412km/h to 431km/h, and it accelerated from 200–300km/h in just 3.89 seconds.
Each upgrade shows Rimac's engineering wasn't just refined, it was reimagined.

We've all dated a guy who could ruin Coldplay for you
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. We've all got one. That one song, that one band, that one album that now tastes like heartbreak. Maybe it was playing in the background when he broke up with you. Maybe it was your song - the one he sang in the car with his whole chest before he blew up your life. Or maybe it was Coldplay. For the wife of Andy Byron - the tech CEO now going viral after appearing on the Coldplay kiss cam with his alleged HR-chief mistress - it's going to be Coldplay. Forever. And that's not just cruel. That's psychological warfare. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. A tech CEO was busted on the kiss cam with his HR exec mistress. Image: TikTok/@instaagraace The kiss cam moment that blew up the internet Last week, at a Coldplay concert in Boston, the band's kiss cam panned to a couple cuddling in the crowd. As the audience cooed and Chris Martin smiled, the man - later identified as Byron - ducked out of view like a panicked meerkat while the woman beside him, HR executive Kristin Cabot, frantically turned away and shielded her face. From the stage, Chris Martin joked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Turns out, it was the former. TikTok detectives quickly linked the couple to a billion-dollar AI company called Astronomer, where Byron is CEO and Cabot is his HR hire. Since then, their names have been blasted across headlines and hashtags, dissected on Reddit threads, and framed in reaction memes like a tech-industry telenovela. Internet users pointed out that Byron's wife quietly removed her married name from social media. Her Facebook was eventually deleted altogether - presumably to avoid the thousands of comments flooding in from strangers watching her marriage unravel in real time. The wife didn't just lose her husband - she lost her soundtrack The internet is having a field day. And yes, from a distance, it's deliciously messy. The kiss cam. The cringey scramble. The 'f***ing hell, it's me' vibe of the footage. If the goal was to cheat discreetly, attending a concert with literal stadium-wide cameras was… bold. But here's the thing: behind the LOLs and the gossip and the Chrissy Teigen-level memes is a woman. A wife. Possibly a mother. And she's now the unwitting protagonist of a viral cheating saga, her life detonated in surround sound. And it wasn't just detonated. It was scored. With Coldplay. RELATED: My husband's affair baby turned up after his death Coldplay is everywhere - supermarkets, lifts, hold music. Image: Instgram/Coldplay You can't escape Coldplay - and now she can't escape the pain This is the part that gets me - the music. Because Coldplay isn't niche. It's not like her ex ruined an obscure Swedish doom-metal band. Coldplay is everywhere. It's in supermarkets, shopping centres, airport lounges, elevators, hold music. You can't even watch a rom-com trailer without Fix You or The Scientist playing behind a montage of heartbreak and rain. Every time this woman goes to buy groceries, or waits on hold to cancel a joint phone plan, or orders a cab that's tuned into Smooth FM, there's a solid chance Chris Martin will be there, whisper-singing directly to her trauma. RELATED: How Ashley Madison convinced 37mil people to have an affair From the stage, Martin joked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Image: Instagram/Coldplay Music is memory - and heartbreak has a playlist That's the thing about music and memory - they attach themselves to each other. Songs are time capsules. Emotional landmines. And when a betrayal happens in stereo, you don't just lose your partner. You lose your playlists. There's something especially brutal about discovering your husband is cheating via jumbotron. But what breaks me is the thought of this woman turning on the radio and being gut-punched by Clocks. Because we've all been there. Maybe not at the scale of a viral tech scandal, but we've all had someone ruin a song. A cafe. A park bench. A scent. A suburb. Love has a way of soaking into the fibres of everyday life - and when it's ripped away, those fibres turn to razor wire. She didn't ask for this spotlight Right now, this woman is probably living in shock. She's probably fielding calls and deleting apps and wondering if anyone's told the kids. She's not laughing at the kiss cam. She's not scrolling TikTok for takes. She's staring at a house that feels different now. At a man she doesn't recognise. At a future she didn't see coming. And while the world jokes about mistresses and HR policies and bad life choices scored by soft rock, she's in mourning. Not just for her marriage - but for everything that used to feel safe. Including Coldplay. From viral gossip to a personal tragedy So yes, we're all laughing at the kiss cam couple. But maybe - quietly, tenderly - we could also spare a thought for the woman whose heart just broke in four million pixels. The woman who didn't ask to be part of the show. The woman who'll never be able to hear Yellow again without feeling sick. Because we've all dated a guy who could ruin Coldplay for you. And once they do, there's no getting it back.
